Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of PYPL price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e


Primary Trend

Start date: September 21, 2023
End date: October 4, 2024

a = 3.1785

b = 0.0006

s = 0.0595

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0006) – 1
= 23.67%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0595) – 1
= 26.87%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y996)
= Exp(a + b × X996 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,445 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1785 + 0.0006 × 1,445 + 2 × 0.0595)
= Exp(4.1386)
= $62.72

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y996)
= Exp(a + b × X996 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,445 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.1785 + 0.0006 × 1,445 – 2 × 0.0595)
= Exp(3.9007)
= $49.44
